GALATIANS 57

  truth?

3
RUNNING WELL - HINDRANCES

• REACH FORWARD

4
PHILIPPIANS 313-14

• Brethren, I do not count myself to have
  apprehended but one thing I do, forgetting those
  things which are behind and reaching forward to
  those things which are ahead, I press toward the
  goal for the prize of the upward call of God in
  Christ Jesus.

• SEEK THINGS ABOVE

6
COLOSSIANS 31-2

• If then you were raised with Christ, seek those
  things which are above, where Christ is, sitting
  at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things
  above, not on things on the earth.

7
COLOSSIANS 33-4

• For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ
  in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then
  you also will appear with Him in glory.

HEBREWS 121

• Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so
  great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
  every weight, and the sin which so easily
  ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the
  race that is set before us,

12
HEBREWS 122

• looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of
  our faith, who for the joy that was set before
  Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and
  has sat down at the right hand of the throne of
  God.

JAMES 121-22

• Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow
  of wickedness, and receive with meekness the
  implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only,
  deceiving yourselves.

15
JAMES 123-24

• For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a
  doer, he is like a man observing his natural face
  in a mirror for he observes himself, goes away,
  and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

16
JAMES 125

• But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty
  and continues in it, and is not a forgetful
  hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be
  blessed in what he does.

18
GALATIANS 51-2

• Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which
  Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled
  again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say
  to you that if you become circumcised, Christ
  will profit you nothing.

19
GALATIANS 53-4

• And I testify again to every man who becomes
  circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole
  law. You have become estranged from Christ, you
  who attempt to be justified by law you have
  fallen from grace.

1 TIMOTHY 68-9

• And having food and clothing, with these we shall
  be content. But those who desire to be rich fall
  into temptation and a snare, and into many
  foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in
  destruction and perdition.

22
1 TIMOTHY 610

• For the love of money is a root of all kinds of
  evil, for which some have strayed from the faith
  in their greediness, and pierced themselves
  through with many sorrows.

HEBREWS 312-13

  evil heart of unbelief in departing from the
  living God but exhort one another daily, while
  it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened
  through the deceitfulness of sin.

HEBREWS 21-2

• Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to
  the things we have heard, lest we drift away. For
  if the word spoken through angels proved
  steadfast, and every transgression and
  disobedience received a just reward,

27
HEBREWS 23-4

• how shall we escape if we neglect so great a
  salvation, which at the first began to be spoken
  by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who
  heard Him, God also bearing witness both with
  signs and wonders, with various miracles, and
  gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own
  will?

  disobedience.
